VADUZ, Liechtenstein, Feb. 2—
Women voted today for the first time in this tiny Alpine principality and helped return a conservative coalition to power in the 15-member Parliament, election officials said.

Women were given the right to vote in 1984 when the Crown Prince, Hans Adam, assumed executive power from his father, Prince Franz Josef II.

The Fatherland Unity Party retained its eight seats, and its coalition partners, the Progressive Citizens, won the other seven seats, including one held by a woman, Emma Eigenmann.
